She also includes comprehensive overviews of contemporary research into anorexia and of cognitive constructivist methods.This interweaving of theory, practice and personal experience offers the reader unique insight into the reality of the illness and demonstrates the effectiveness of integrative and creative methods, and the central importance of a good relationship between the client and the therapist. The book is a rich source of inspiration and guidance for therapists and other professionals, as well as for people with eating disorders and their families.

`There are many good things here. We have an account of behavioural, cognitive and constructivist approaches to therapy, which is all the richer for the demonstration of theories in action in this complex case.' - European Eating Disorders Review`A detailed and compelling account of a young woman's struggle with anorexia nervosa. Certainly, the professional will learn from these insights, perhaps understanding better their patients' experiences and language. They are likely to benefit, too, from thinking about Ronen's patient-centred, individualised and creative approach'
